Chinese ministry raps producer for dumping steel slag

China: The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has accused the Gaoyi Iron and Steel Company in Yuncheng in Shanxi province of illegally and dumping steel slag over a 10 year period. The ministry has named the steel producer as part of an initiative to name and shame industrial polluters, according to Reuters. The steel producer was ordered in 2013 to build a slag treatment yard but it failed to do so. So far in 2018 it has produced 0.3Mt of steel slag. Most of this has been dumped on nearby farmland.
